FIRE AT CRONSTADT. (Further particulars.) D'S AT itiTRACT OF A LETTIR FROM TUN AGINT TO LLOT CRONSADT, DATED JUNE 11 (23), 1826, " It gives me the sincerest pain to acquaint you of one of the most destructive fires . I have ever witnessed, and through which our ships and the lighters alongside of them, with goods on board, were exposed to the greatest danger. "On the 9th (21st) instant, between four and five o'clock, a fire was discovered in the deal 'Marfa bordering the harbour, among 'a large parcel of chips, which had been accumulated for a considerable tinie; and as no fire or smoking is allowed on or near the spot, and. Mt traces can be discovered how it broke out, the only conclusion is that self-ignition has taken place in consequence of' the tarred and painted chips mixed with the ge neral heap. " MI the warehowies which were built of wood, together with the goods they contained, and the deals, lath-wood, masts, spars,. &c. deposited - on the wharf, fell a sacrifice to the flames, and not a vestige now remains of the property which a couple of days ago crowded the place. " Th e amount of the loss eqnnot 'yet be ascertained, and I am. unwilling to hazard a guess, which may be erroneous. " As the wind was from the northward, and directly over the harbour, the ships and light ers lying there we re exposed to almost certain destruction, especially as there is but one exit. " At this juncture T sent on board His Majesty's ship Oloueesier to crane assistance, which was granted in the most willing and handsome manner by J. Sydney Horton, Esq. the Commander, who instantly brought up his steam_vessels, boats, officers, and men, to aid in this moment of peril. 44 lie ilien,itationed 'himself at the Mole Head, took command of the merchant ,ieeaels, and made such cool and excellent arrange ments,: that the ships - of All nitiono, and the lighters attached to' them, were towed and warped out w i t h unexampled rap i d i ty, and b ery. eleven at ni g ht th e last c ra f t o f any description was out of ang a A s soon as the ships were clear of the harbour mouth, they Were taken up 1 1, the steam - vessels and b oats of the Gloucester, and by number of 'Russian gun-boats, which came down from s oth e , sfi s tainetheir io ower. veryjiandeome manner, and rendered every assietines in p " Towards the close of the night it actually rained fire into the Mole, avid many brands fell upon the Mole Head, and even flew over to thi apposite fortress of Cronstadt.

His Majesty's Commissioners' here beg leave to refer to their last Report, in which it is stated, that they had deemed it expedient, in the first instance, to offer the benefit of aid, from the second Parliamentary grant, to such parishes and places, being fully qualified by popula tion and the want of church accommodation, as might be most forward in their tender of ' contributions, and to propose , to them, upon their, contributing in money and. in sites to the amount of one-half of the whole ex pence, an immediate grant a the remaining sum required hi r th e erection of a church or chapel, according to ap proved ; and that where c i rcumstances shouldied Ppitairitaonudtesotfirtia" the power of any parish to meet to the full ex tent that condition, his Majesty's Commissioners v had endeavoured to ascertain how nearly they might be able to approach the same, so that after satisfying the claims of those that should contribute in the proportion before stated, the reinainder, of the Grant might be appropriated circumstances would with due reference to the wants . of the places applying and the liberality of their contributions. .Adopting therefore, the have proposed to permit,principle h i 8 thus Majesty'slal down a Commissionersfa r Grants in aid of' building Sixty-six new Churches and Chapels at the following places, namely : Ridclin gs h thou in theparish, at Linthwaite, Lockwood, and Net er in the parish of Alfreton, In. the county of Derby; W;ilcot, inth .o y Somerset; BialsZtri, Almondbury, in the county of York; in the county of Sta ' fford of Bath; BedmiOter, in the County Of Sen . the county f in ° Sussex; Burslem, in the county of Stafford;. the in t city o parishes of St. Cuthbert and St. gory, I lisle ; Carmarthen, in the county .4 Carmarthen; the ; Brighton, Chel tenham,f Car in - the county • of Gloucester; the county of Worcester; in the parish of St. C M h ich e i s te i l a i t n in city' of Coventry; wood, in the near 'Croydon Common, and Nor- nty of Surrey; Dawley, in the county of Salop; .he t parish 'of Croydon, in the con Perish of St. 'Werbtirgh, Derby in the county ? f Derby;; at liiiniMersmith; and at Weibull Green, in ' the parish of 'Fulh am , in the county of Middlesex ; Glossop, in the county of Derby; Great Bedworth, iu the county of Chester; Great 'Yarmouth, in the county of Norfolk; Gwennap,. in the county, of Cornall; at .

We are informed they intend to visit Fal mouth, Plymouth, and Portsmouth, with their Commo dore, at their different Regattas. This distinguished Club appears to become more and more extensive every year, several fine yachts having this year been added to it, and many of its members have increased the size of their yachts; and from its general operation, it is evidently be coming of more extensive national importance, not only as it regards the employment of seamen, but, we are happy to find, from the superiority of many of the yachts, as fast sailers, it has drawn much of the attention of Naval Ar chitects. Lord Yarborough's yacht, the Falcon, is now ready, and, We understand, his Lordship is going on a cruise for a few days. The external appearance of this yacht is that of one of our 28 gun ships, except that some of the defects in appearance, which must necessarily be in this class of ships, are done away by the symmetry and effect produced by the sheer and lightness which ,are presented by the main and quarter-deilc guns. A good effect is likewise produced in 'the interior, especially in the main cabin, which 13 . 36 feet in length, by having the bulkheads of beautiful oak, and the sides of the ship, without lining, very highly polished: this makes it quite characteristic of " our Hearts of Oak." She mounts eight 9-pounders and eight 6-pound'ers; part of the 9-pounders are kept in the hold, and the gun-carriages fitted as dressing-tables, which are easily removed, for mounting the ens, and the bulk heads taken down, to show as the main-deck of a ship of war. The after-cabin is very highly finished with maho gany;for the ladies' eitbin; in short, the whole arrange ment, both of the lower and main -deck, is very excellent, and shows the best taste.—HamPthire Tdegraph.

Dear Friends,—Under the animating influence of the love of the Gospel, we are again induced to acknowledge that the power of the Lord has been known to prevail amongst us. We are sensible that we are unworthy par takers of these renewed mercies; but we consider it as a duty thus to 'express our gratitude to the Author of all our blessings. And seeing, beloved friends, that his compas sion fail not, we earnestly desire that you may humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, casting all your care upon him, for he eareth for you. We invite you all to seek to be made perfect through faith , and obedienee, that thus yen may become partakers of those graciowlro mises which ire fulfilled through Him, who, by one offer ing, hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Seeing, then, that our heavenly Father has, in his infi nite love appointed this means for our salvation, let us all take heed that we neglect not so great a blessing; for, if ever we become rooted and built up in Christ, it must be by waiting in faith for the revelation of his power in the soul. This we esteem as the foundation of a Christian life, and happy, yea, blessed are they who, in -their own indi vidual experience, have attained to a full dependence on his all-powerful aid. If this were the constant concern of all, we should rim receive such repeated accounts of the neglect, on the part. of some of our members of our meetings for divine worship. Many there are who can testify that, as in their silent wait ing they have diligently sought the Lord, he has refresh ed their spirits, aid satisfied their souls. And we believe, if with uprightness of heart, and a solicitude proportion ed in its importance, every, one were engaged, each for himself, to place his whole expectation upon God, that his divine power would more eminently overshadow our reli gious assemblies. A patient humble reliance on the teachings of the spirit of truth weans the mind front trusting in any inferior source of good. It induces the profitable work of self examination; and if we are not at all times alike favoured with the enjoyment of the presence of the Lord, we become anxious to ascertain whether this arises from our own unwatchfulness, or from those dispensations of Divine Providence which may be designed to prepare in us a pure and perfect heart. In a 'state of silent humble re tirement of mind, the Christian traveller is often permit- ted clearly to perceive the various stratagems of the ene my, and to pour out his secret supplication unto the Father of mercies, that none of the devices of the devil may retard his progress in the consecrated path of self-denial. He is at times endued with ability to pray that the • faculties of his mind, the exercise of his talents, whether natural or acquired, and the employMent of the spiritual gifts: be stowed upon hint, must be under the sanctifying and restraining influence of the spirit of Christ. Patient waiting upon God brings with it a humble estimate of our ova religious attainments, and prepares the mind justly to appreciate, and to accept with gratitude, that ministry of the word - of life, 'which., through the goodness of the great head, of the., church still continued to us, is all times to be heard. fir 'Me congregations of people. • We feel tenderly for such our dear friends as come to gether in very small companies in their religious meetings, but we earnestly desire that they may not relax in their diligence, or allow either their solitary situation, or their outward concerns, to prevent a duo and pun c t ua l attend ancce of these meetings. The importance of endeavouring to train up children in the right way of the Lord is so great, that it is no cause for surprise that the minds of faithful brethren are, from year to year, as has been the case at the present time, exercised on the subject in this meeting. Our Christian profession leads to a religious life and conversation of great purity, both in example and precept. It excludes worldly-mindedness; it enforces the necessity of habits of Christian love and gentleness; it enjoins a watchful guarded demeanour ; it allows of no compromise of prin ciple for any system of expediency. Thus the life of a limos' - parent will show forth a steady endeavour to fol low the light of Christ, and to imitate his pure and holy example. Such parents will often watch for favourable opportuni ties to imbue the susceptible minds of their youthful charge with the true filial fear and love of the Almighty; to turn their attention to the Lamb of God, who " tuketh away the sins of the world ;" and to instruct them in the precious truths of Holy Scripture. They will frequently feel vast importance of doing their utmost to cultivate in their tender offspring a humble obedience to the teachings of, the Lord's spirit ; and, as they advance in years, to establish in them a firm belief of the all-sufficiency of his holy guide. When precept and example are thus happily combined, they most effectually prepare the way for the adoption of those testimonies and practices in regard to speech, behaviour, and apparel, which accord with our views of Christian simplicity. These we believe to have their origin in the pure and perfect law of the Lord, from whence springs our more important views of Christian doctrine and practice. And we desire that none of our dear friends may be discouraged in contemplating that high standard of parental duty which we are concerned to hold Up. All should be endeavouring to perform their part with entire consistency; and if we are sincere in these attempts, we have abundant cause to believe that the blessing of the Most High will not be withheld. In the course of the last year the circumstances of the commercial inhabitants of this country have been such as to involve numbers in great distress and perplexity. Mem , hers of our society, some, we fear, through their own im prudence, have partaken of this calamity. We feel for such as are in trouble, and desire that their sufferings may be conducive to their lasting benefit. To those who, in the management of their temporal concerns, are now strug gling under difficulties, which, it is passible, are only folly known to themselves and to the Great Searcher of hearts, we would offer a word of encouragement and sympathy.— We entreat you to act with prudence and uprightness, and so to live from day to day, that you can, in humble trust, place your whole dependence upon the Lord; then may you entertain the consoling belief that his protecting care will be extended towards you. And may we all, dour friends, be so instructed by the things that have been suf fered, as to fix our hearts upon a " treasure in the heavens that faileth not !" In the course of business of this meeting we hav e epistles from our friends in Ireland, and meetings in America; except th at one frreoctenv all ed the seedusuyearly e read u ly from North Carolina has not yet rsached us. The amount of the sufferings of our members, as re only having been incurred on amount of milita perm' at this time, including the discharges of restraint, is u p wa rds of 13,260/.

We do take comfort in th • h • their eying yield ed to the visitations of the love of and we tenderly invite all such to persevere in the way of y C o l u iris g ttu r i friends wk (From •the Quarterly Review.) • " This is the productionT. of a Neapolitan Canon, Oronzio di Bernardi, discursive and long winded to excess, but at the - same time containing many useful hints. "It is, our author truly says, the unfortunate propensity • to loOk down, and in a manner to embrace the water, cast ing the arms about, that 'Occasions the unexperienced to sink- 7 , 7 every struggle forcing the body deeper and counter acting its' natural tendency, if it were but kept tranquil and the longs inflated, to rise to the-surface. Violent strug gling and throwing the limbs about would, in the same manner, infallibly deprive .the body of the faculty of loco motion, or of -retaining its erect posture on land. Every swimmer knows that by holding himself perfectly still and upright, as if standing, with his head somewhat thrown back so as to rest on the surface, his face will remain en tirely Aiwa the water,"enabling him to enjoy full freedom of breathing The Only difficulty is to preserve the due balanee,of the 1)64, and this is secured by extending' the . Ulna laterally under' the surface of the water with the legs 'separated, the one to the front and the other behind, thus presenting resistance to any tendency of the body to incline to either side,.forward.or backwiird. This posture maybe preserved in perfect - equilibrium for any length of time. In general, when the human body is immersed, one eleVenth of its weight will remain above the surface •in .. fresh water and one tenth in salt water. • * * " It is natural to suppose that the less we alter our method of advancing in the water from what is habitual to us on shore, we shall find a continued exercise of it the MOW easy, According tu this pyneiple, the usual pa , . .iition of the swimmer—stretched flat on his face,, awl the head held as much bark on the shoulders as possiblea-is liable to objection. Savages are observed to urge their forward progress in an attitude nearly as upright as when they walk or run on land. Renee their motions are easy, the head is in perfect liberty, and, the hands ready to be used when wanted. it "' " In teaching, Bernardi proceeds upon a plan consider ably different from the usual one;., his primary object is to enable the pupil to float in an upright posture, and to feel a decided confidence in the buoyancy of his body. He proceeds at first with as great caution and deliberation as a nurse teaching a child to walk, supporting the pupil under the shoulder until he floats tranquilly with the head and part of the neck above the surface, the arms being stretch ed out horizontally under' water; from time to time the supporting arm is removed, but again restored, so as never to suffer ,the head to sink, which would dis turb the growing confidence, and give rise to efforts de structive to the sumo** of the lesson. In this early Stage the unsteadiness of the body is the chief difficulty to be overcome ; against this we are disposed, from our habits on. land, to trust to thereaisting fulcrum of the heel, which cannot, in a yielding medium, prove of any avail. Instead of the heel, it is the head which, like the rudder of a ship, is the great regulator of our Movements in water. The 'smallest inclination of the head and neck to either side in stantly operates on the whole body, and, if not corrected, will throw the body into an horizontal posture. The pupil has therefore to be taught how to restore any disturbance of the just equilibrium ; by a cantina movement of the, head alone in an opposite direction. The first lesson being fainiliarized by practice, he is then taught the use of the legs for balancing the , body in the water ; the one of these being stretched forward and the other behind, and the. arms laterally, he will soon find himself steadily sustainedi and independent of further aid in floating. Fat people, being naturally more erect, find less difficulty in acquiring this upright position with steadiness than thin persons ; end none experience so much as those who have acquired the habit of stooping. * * * " Swimming do the back, although at first somewhat difficult, soon becomes easy, and is in every respect a most *p ortant a tu t i ntnen t ; being attended with little fatigue, and in practice SO safe, that it ought ever to be resorted to upon the occurrence of any difficulty. A swimmer, seized-with cramp, should immediately turn on his back; and by continuing fora little to jerk out the affected limb in the air, taking care, however, not to elevate it so high to disturb the 'equilibrium of the body stretched flat on the surface, he will soon find its natural powers restored." AS to the success of his practices, Bernardi says— ".l having been appointed to instruct the youths at the Royal Naval Academy of Naples in the Art of SwiMming, a trial of the proficiency of the pupils took place under the inspection of a number of people assembled on share for that purpose on th e tenth day of their instruction twelve-oared boat attended the progress of the pupas, from motives of precaution. They swam so far .out into the Bay, that at length the heads of the young men could with difficulty be discerned with the naked eye, and the Major-General of Marine, Fortegitrri, for whose Meow lion the exhibition was intended, elpressed serious appre hensions for their safety.
